Chapter 395: Chapter 395: Not Answering the Phone
On the other side, James Grant held his phone with an indifferent expression and said after a while, "Lynn Yates, thank you."
Just now with the Yates Family, anyone who wasn’t a fool could discern the meaning underlying Lynn’s parents’ words.
James Grant’s silence was to avoid completely tearing apart relations with them, but Lynn’s appearance essentially positioned her against her parents.
James Grant accepted this kind deed.
"No need to be polite," Lynn Yates said softly, "Alright, let’s not talk anymore, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, James Grant looked at the new push notification on his phone, his eyes filled with a mixture of amusement.
The news was brief, but every word was shocking.
[Atlas Group suspects of tax evasion, the relevant authorities are investigating...]
Social media had already exploded; a financial news piece that originally wouldn’t attract public interest, now was under intense scrutiny due to the scandal James stirred up a couple of days ago.
The buzz was changing by the second, rapidly climbing into the top ten with an alarming speed.
James Grant pressed the power button calmly.
The last moment before the screen went black, a ring sounded.
James Grant saw clearly; it was Harrison Grant calling.
His eyes were full of mocking laughter.
What does today’s Atlas Group have to do with him?

"What the hell is going on?!"
In the Atlas Group’s high-level meeting room, Harrison Grant’s face was livid with anger, he flung his phone furiously.
The group’s shareholders were sitting on either side of the table, daring not even to breathe heavily.
Jasper Grant, sitting first on the left side, saw this, his brow twitched slightly. He got up to pick up the phone and placed it back beside Harrison Grant.
"Is my brother still not answering?" Jasper Grant asked softly, "Please don’t be angry, I’ll try to contact him later."
Harrison Grant’s face was dark.
He, Harrison Grant, has hunted geese all his life, but now a goose has pecked him in the eye!
It truly is...
Thinking about being unable to reach James Grant, Harrison became increasingly troubled.
He also felt a faint suspicion.
Could it be, his eldest son...
No, impossible!
Atlas Group was founded by his mother, even if James were reckless, he wouldn’t use Atlas to backstab himself–
Harrison Grant dismissed the doubt, and said in a deep voice, "Forget about him for now! Jasper, you go check where that news online came from!"
Jasper Grant’s eyelashes drooped slightly, and he responded very obediently, "Okay, Dad, don’t upset yourself, I’ll do my best to contact my brother as well."
"Be careful these days, don’t talk nonsense outside!" Harrison Grant warned the group’s shareholders, and then instructed the vice president, "Tell the PR department to resolve this matter quickly!"
The vice president hurriedly answered, then hesitated, "Chairman, regarding the work reports afterwards..."
Harrison, already standing to leave, paused upon hearing this and glanced at Jasper.
"Jasper will temporarily serve as the group president, and report everything to him!"
Saying that, Harrison Grant strode away.
Jasper Grant stood there calmly, responding to a few congratulatory remarks from shareholders with composure.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don’t speak rashly; I’m merely handling things on behalf of my brother for a few days. The future is still uncertain." Jasper’s humble attitude was just right, "Let’s all disperse and get to our tasks."
A shareholder still flattered and said, "In the future, maybe you’ll be in charge, remember to take care of us!"
Jasper Grant smiled without replying.
He watched in the direction Harrison Grant left, his eyes held a faint shadow, which vanished in an instant.
